Happy Birthday Stu :smile: Every year I'm surprised to see that you're younger than me, I think you may have lived more of a 'life' than I have :grin:

Grump? Whenever I've seen him he's always been Captain Cheerful :smile: . I generally catch him every February 29th.

Have a good day Stuart hopefully doing things you like doing.

Quieter than you'd think Sean - obviously not quiet but not obnoxious. :-bd

Wow, that certainly is looking good Stu :cool:
Don't recognise that lump of metal now; is it still at 250 or have you bored it out a bit? And have you had a chance to 'road test' it yet or still early days? Must have a nosey at end of month, may be a queue!

Different engine Peter. This is an AJS but the Honda is coming along quite nicely - I'm just part way through fully welding the frame up.

No big cow / little cow here. It really is that small :wink:
